Wonderful locations for animal lovers

As a self-confessed nation of dog lovers, we all know that our furry four-legged friends make the best companions and they always want to be part of the action, whether it’s a scamper along the beach or a roam in the bluebells, they can add so much more to your holiday. It’s made even easier with all of our Club campsites allowing dogs on site and some even have a dog washing area and dog walks from the site. For more information travelling with you dog click here.

It’s no surprise that so many of you included your perfect pooch in your Happy Place photos. Some of you even managed to capture the beauty of nature with other animals that we share our world with.

Skies, stars and sunsets

Stephen Hawking once said; "Look up at the stars, not down at your feet", which is what some of our members have done with these stunning images of our skies.  The sun rises and sets every day but there’s still something utterly magical about seeing a brilliantly colourful sky as you settle into your evening or wishing you a good morning. Be in awe of what Mother Nature can do and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us.

Life on tour

For many of you, your perfectly pitched up outfits take centre stage for your Happy Place. And it's no surprise! Getting out and exploring in your caravan, motorhome or campervan is the perfect way to make the most of the great outdoors. Get off the beaten track, fill every day with new experiences and wake up to a different view every morning.

You don't even need to be an owner either, as we offer vehicle hire too! Whether you want to go to that festival in style or explore the scenic countryside of the UK, hiring will enable you to create your perfect holiday.

Beautiful British Beaches

Sweeping coastlines, the salty air in your face or the gentle lapping of the tide, there’s nothing more peaceful than an authentic sea breeze.  And as the UK is dotted with picturesque beach towns and cool, cutting-edge destinations, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Grab your bucket and spade and head to the coast on your next trip for a spot of sun and salty sea air.

The wonders of nature

Our little island is surprisingly green with a deep indented coastline of almost 20,000 miles. It’s not all industrial history or towering cathedrals, the UK also offers soaring mountains, deep canyons, strikingly beautiful lakes and river valleys, making them some of the best natural wonders to create absolutely stunning landscapes.
